2023 Yamaha YZ65

2023 Yamaha YZ65

Designed for the discriminating mini-moto racer with dreams of victory. The YZ65 is the perfect first step into the victory zone.

Features may include:

• Potent 65cc Motocrosser

Built to win—just like its bigger YZ siblings—the compact YZ65 is ready to tackle the track right out of the gate featuring Yamaha's world-renowned off-road performance, quality and durability.

• YPVS™ Powerplant

The 65cc two-stroke engine features the legendary Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS™), a mechanical power valve system that delivers a broad spread of power and torque across the entire rpm range.

• Adjustable Chassis

With a strong steel frame and adjustable front and rear suspension, the YZ65 offers riders the traction, confidence and tunability of full-size motocross machines in a compact package.

• Potent Two-Stroke Engine

The 65cc two-stroke powerplant features the same advanced technologies found in Yamaha's race-winning YZ125 and YZ250 motocrossers.

• Race-Developed Intake

With a carefully tuned Hitachi Astemo® Keihin PWK28 carburetor to meter fuel flow, the proven reed-valve induction improves acceleration and throttle response across the entire powerband.

• Yamaha Power Valve System

Patented YPVS™ combines crisp bottom-end torque with potent mid-range and free-revving top-end, making the most of the compact engine and lightweight chassis.

• Compact Steel Frame

The YZ65 offers light, neutral handling built on a strong steel cradle frame. Designed around the rigidity balance required for the 65cc class, this frame delivers excellent bump absorption in the roughest track sections, jump landings and whoop sections.

• Lightweight Subframe

Removable aluminum rear subframe is constructed of square-section tubing for reduced weight and convenient maintenance, just like the full-size motocross bikes.

• Adjustable Ergonomics

With a four-position adjustable aluminum handlebar clamp, adjustable clutch and front brake levers, grippy footpegs, and long seat design to help riders move across the bike, the YZ65 is highly tunable to fit riders of various sizes.

• Aggressive YZ Family Styling

The YZ65 may be the smallest member of the family, but it packs in the same aggressive styling as the larger YZ and YZ-F siblings. Even down to the slick blue Excel® wheels.
